Nick explains how to plug the quiet leaks that drain profit. Use three daily numbers—planned hours, actual hours, and rework—to give crews visibility and control before margin slips.

Full Show Notes:

• Why site productivity and daily rhythm matter most in tough conditions.
• The power of posting daily numbers and fixing drift the very next morning.
• Mini case study: a Surrey landscaper improved rework and calm with visible metrics.

Top 3 Actions to Take Away;

• Write one clear outcome linked to site productivity and daily rhythm; post it visibly.
• Capture proof with one photo/number/sign‑off and review it in a 15‑minute Monday check‑in.
• Remove one blocker by Friday and bake the fix into your standard.
